BYU bound

Posted by ESPN.com’s Graham Watson

I’m on my way to Salt Lake City tonight and Provo, Utah, tomorrow.

Saturday’s game against Florida State should be a great test for BYU. Although people haven’t forgotten the Cougars' win over No. 3 Oklahoma, they need this win to assuage any talk about that win being a fluke (though I don't think it was).

I like BYU in this game, especially with the way its defense has been playing. But Florida State’s athleticism could give the Cougars fits. This game ultimately will come down to BYU quarterback Max Hall. He’ll be able to find seams in the Florida State secondary, especially with an array of receivers who have proved the ability to make plays. But turnovers have killed him in the past and with a beat up offensive line, he’s going to face quite a bit of pressure from an athletic Florida State defensive front. Remember, he's already thrown three interceptions this season.

I’ll have more on this game tomorrow morning, and tonight I’ll be following the big WAC matchup between Fresno State and Boise State.
